After paying all debts i am left with 40,000. My morgage pay off is 103,912.33, not enough to pay our home off. I have the 40,000.00 in a saving drawing me interest of 4.25.. Should i take that money and put it down on the house to lower the monthly payments or do i just leave things as is? I recieve a widows pension of 1455.00 monthly...my house note is 755.00 monthly, however, i still find it hard to make ends meet with all the other debts..electricity..gas..phone...insurance on house and automobile, trying to collect my disability is a waiting process....what do i do? my husband died 15 months ago and i am disabled.

I have no financial debt except for school loans. I make over 80k a year and wanted to know what is the best move for me. I work in a school so I have a teacher's pension. Should I do a Roth in addition to the 403b and a VUL or one or the other. What are the drawbacks to a VUL? Should I look to invest in other forums? I’m 30 years old and have one dependant.

What about death benefits? I mean... you might want to get coverage to cover costs related to death itself. I agree that there is no point to term life if no one depends on your income, but some $15k to cover burial etc... might not be a bad thing. About #4. What about death benefits?

I am very interested in fostering financial awareness in my children. I am establishing a 529, early in January, for them. I am also looking to get started on some of the Sharebuilder promotions for them, and to get them involved in some of my side work, where they can be paid and earn some funds to sock away in a Roth IRA, at a very early age.
